Tools used by beekeepers including a smoker where explained and on display. 
  • Members of the Kingaroy Photographic Club will visit the Kingaroy Library on Thursday 10 May 2018 to discuss all things photography.  Topics covered on the morning will include how to get the most from your camera.

  • The family history workshops that take place each month at the Kingaroy Library continue to provide valuable information to those in attendance.  Beginners or the more advanced are catered for and participants can share their knowledge and experience.  Skilled guidance is provided on all aspects of genealogy with personal computers useful but not necessary. 
  • For children who love Minecraft, board games, card games or arts and crafts the Kingaroy Library’s Kid’s Corner is sure to keep them entertained and having a heap of fun. Held each Wednesday afternoon during the school term from 3.30pm - 4.30pm at the Kingaroy Library, children aged 7 -15 are invited to attend.  Spaces are limited, so be sure to book by calling the Kingaroy Library.
